In a perfect world, the month of May would be closer to water-skiing than downhill skiing. But, as anyone who just lived through March and April in Rochester can attest, perfect is a ways off.

Downhill skiing it is, then. Bristol Mountain announced Monday it will open for one last run on Tuesday, May 1, when the high temperature is projected at 74 degrees.

That is the latest Bristol has welcomed skiers since it began keeping track of such things.

It will mark the 128th day of operation for 2017-18, so the first 128 skiers through the door will receive a commemorative T-shirt, spokeswoman Drew Broderick said.

"To be sitting here April 30 and, we can possibly open in May — we thought, why not?" Broderick said. "Let’s end the season like we started it."

The season started back on Nov. 11, when the leaves hadn't yet fallen off the trees lining the ski trails. Bristol was the first ski area in New York to open in the fall, Broderick said, and will be the last to close, possibly along with one other.

At least two trails, Upper and Lower Rocket, will be open, and potentially several others. Check www.bristolmountain.com for conditions. The trails will be open from 9 a.m. to noon and admission will be $45.
